Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted March 8 Ducks Shutdown No. 8 Florida State, 2-0 EUGENE, Ore. – Braiesey Rosa’s first career home run backed Lyndsey Grein’s one-hit shutout of No. 8 Florida State as 12-ranked Oregon upended the Seminoles, 2-0, Friday in front of 1,914 at Jane Sanders Stadium. The Ducks (21-1) won their 16th game in a row for their longest winning streak since taking 16 straight during the 2020 season. Only three Seminoles reached base as Grein kept FSU’s batters off balance all night to improve to 12-0 on the season. “I love how we came out and set the tone defensively and on the mound,” said Lombardi. “And then to come in first inning with Rylee (McCoy) coming up to get the base hit you could feel these guys ready from the start staying with it in the middle and loved how they finished” The Ducks became the first team to shut out Florida State (19-4) this season. How It Happened: After Katie Flannery pulled a two-out single through the left side in the bottom of the second inning, Rosa sent a 1-0 pitch on a line over the wall in center field. Not only was it her first career home run, it was her second career hit. “I celebrated in the moment,” said Rosa. “It was a good hit, but I knew that there was more to the game. In order for me to be proud of the hit and celebrate, I needed to finish the game and lock it down.” That proved to be enough for Grein. She allowed a two-out single to Kennedy Harp in the first inning, but held FSU hitless after that. The only other base runners allowed by Grein came via a walk in the fourth inning and an error in the sixth. Grein struck out the first two batters she faced before Harp’s single. She then sat down the next nine batters before walking Michaela Edenfield with two outs in the fourth. Grein retired 10 of the last 11 batters she faced. She had 1-2-3 innings in the second, third, fifth and seventh. “Honestly, when we got to the seventh, I just wanted to do it for my team,” said Grein, who got the final out on her 100th pitch of the game. “They worked so hard and played an amazing seven innings for me. So, I just wanted to close it out, return the favor, and get everyone the win.” Grein struck out five in going the distance to earn her second straight shutout. She threw a three-hitter against San Diego last Saturday. Notable: The Ducks’ 21-1 start is the program’s best since going 24-1 to open the 2021 season … Kedre Luschar extended her career-best hitting streak to nine games with a double in the fourth inning … Paige Sinicki made her 151st consecutive game at shortstop. Quotable: Head Coach Melyssa Lombardi on the support of the season-high 1,914 fans at Jane Sanders Stadium “What is great is our fans saw up close what we were doing on the road for the last four weeks. I love our fans. I love the rumble, that never gets old. I always talk about this place being a lion's den’s and it feels so good to be on the home side of this place.” Up Next: The Jane Sanders Classic continues Saturday with the first Rivalry Game of the season versus Oregon State (3:30 p.m., B1G+). Looking ahead, Oregon will play Florida State (2:30 p.m.) and Abilene Christian (5 p.m.) on Sunday. The Jane Sanders Classic concludes with a single game Monday against Abilene Christian (10:30 a.m.). 1 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team took a big hit when Mike White left. She deserves a TON of credit. Oregon softball was sinking when White left for the $$$ at Texas, and took a lot of players with him. All Lombardi did was leave the No.1 program in the country, Oklahoma, to take on the challenge of building Oregon back up and has done a great job!

Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 5 Share Posted March 9 Oregon has always had good hitting and good fielding, but Lombardi built those great Sooner programs around a fantastic pitcher. Grein is 12-0, and it would appear that the Coach finally has the final piece to the program. Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
